Too Pooped to Pop - Chuck Berry

Casey is an old man who wants to be a teen

He goes to all the dances and they call him cha-cha king

He cha-chas when the band is playin' rock and roll

He tries to keep in time but the beat leaves him cold.

Because he’s too pooped to pop, too old a soul

Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do the stroll

And every time his feet get to go in one way

Here comes a new dance and it’s goin' to stray.

Chicks told Casey, You better move man,

This is only a one night stand

Casey wasn’t in time but he was dancin' awhile

Till a cramp caught his leg and he had to change his style.

Because he’s too pooped to pop, too old a soul

Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do the stroll

And every time his feet get to go in one way

Here comes a new dance and it’s goin' to stray.

Because he’s too pooped to pop, too old a soul

Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do the stroll

And every time his feet get to go in one way

Here comes a new dance and it’s goin' to stray.

Casey finally learned to do the hoochie koo

This might have been fine back in '22

Now, I’m gonna give you fellows just a little tip

If you wanna keep your girl you’d better get hip

Or, you’ll be too pooped to pop, too old a soul

You hips are gettin' weaker when you’ll try to do the stroll

And every time your feet gettin' to go in one way

Here comes a new dance you’ll be left to stray.
